§ Mr. O'Halloranasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent discussions he has had with local authorities regarding the A1 trunk road from the North Circular Road to inner London regarding further widening schemes; and if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of any plans submitted to him, areas to be affected and approximate cost of such schemes, also when work is due to start, and dates of completions.
§ Mr. SpeedThere have been no discussions with local authorities on any proposed scheme for this section of the Al trunk road other than the length of Archway Road which is the subject of a current public inquiry. Until my right hon. and learned Friend has received and considered the inspector's report it is not possible to say if and when this scheme, estimated to cost £7¼ million, will proceed.
